Welcome to our culinary adventure as we unlock the secrets of creating authentic homemade Mayonnaise, the creamy and versatile condiment loved by many around the world! Whether you're using it as a base for dressings, spreading it on sandwiches, or incorporating it into your favorite recipes, there's nothing quite like the rich and velvety texture of homemade mayonnaise. Say goodbye to store-bought versions filled with additives and preservatives, as we guide you through the simple process of creating this luscious sauce from scratch.
In a tall jar or container (if using an immersion blender) or a mixing bowl (if using a hand mixer), combine the egg, vegetable oil, white vinegar or lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and a pinch of sugar.
If using an immersion blender, place it at the bottom of the jar so that the head of the blender is just above the egg yolk.
Start blending at low speed and gradually move the blender upward to emulsify the mixture. Continue blending until the mayonnaise becomes thick and creamy.
If using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
Optional: Add a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy twist, and blend briefly to incorporate.
Transfer the homemade Mayonnaise to a clean jar or container, and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
